School Polices
1. Activity-Based Curriculum
Artes School believes in an activity-based curriculum that promotes experiential learning and active engagement. This approach encourages students to participate in hands-on activities, projects, and discussions to deepen their understanding and enhance their learning experience.
2. Deep Intellectual Development
Artes School is committed to fostering deep intellectual development in students. The curriculum and teaching methodologies are designed to encourage critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and creativity. The school aims to cultivate a love for learning and instill a lifelong passion for acquiring knowledge.
3. No Bag
Artes School follows a “No Bag” policy, particularly for younger students. This policy relieves students of the burden of carrying heavy backpacks filled with textbooks and notebooks. Instead, the school provides necessary learning materials and resources within the classroom, promoting a more comfortable and conducive learning environment.
4. No Examination
Artes School implements a “No Examination” policy for students from pre-primary to grade 3. During this period, formal examinations are not conducted. Assessments are based on ongoing observations and evaluations of students’ progress and development, fostering a stress-free approach to learning.
5. No Homework
Artes School believes in a balanced approach to education and understands the importance of a child’s overall well-being. Hence, the school implements a “No Homework” policy for students from pre-primary to grade 3. This policy allows students sufficient time for leisure, family, and extracurricular activities, promoting a healthy work-life balance.
6. Attendance & Leave Policy
Given our “No Homework” and “No Examination” policies, which aim to promote stress-free education, all students are required to maintain a minimum of 85% attendance for the entire academic year to be promoted to the next class. In case of absence, parents must submit a written application on the day the student returns to school. The management reserves the right to approve the leave or mark the student absent for that day. While Artes School provides comprehensive support and guidance to all students, it cannot be held responsible for any negative consequences resulting from low attendance, including decreased academic performance.
7. Dress Code
Artes School maintains a uniform dress code to emphasize unity and identity within the school community. It is mandatory for boys to wear pants and shirts, and for girls to wear frocks in teal and yellow. These colors are specifically chosen to align with the school’s logo, symbolizing our values and spirit.
8. Fee Refund Policy
According to our policy, admission and monthly fees are non-refundable. However, we understand that circumstances may arise that require the withdrawal of a student from our school. In such cases, parents or guardians must inform us one session prior to their child’s withdrawal to be eligible for a refund of the security deposit.
Our security deposit is refundable upon meeting this requirement, and the refund will be processed within three months of receiving the withdrawal request. We strive to make this process smooth and efficient, and encourage you to contact our administration office with any questions or concerns.
